Art the Clown has become a pop culture phenomenon in recent years. From action figures to ugly Christmas sweaters, the clown slasher is everywhere these days and now he’s also causing havoc in Prime Video.

DC and Warner Bros. are probably having interesting staff Zoom calls this morning after their latest big-budget movie, Joker 2, couldn’t snatch the top spot at the box office over the weekend.

Slaughterhouse Rules. Back in mid-September, we began a themed collection of episodes featuring Gay Icons and Anniversaries.

The NC-17 rating first appeared in 1990 for the movie Henry and June. It replaced the X-rating used throughout the 70s for sexually explicit American films, or as it’s referred to: porn. Don’t get it confused with NA which applies to films that haven’t been submitted to be rated by the Motion Picture Association (MPA).

Talk about a perfect storm. I still can’t believe I’m sitting here writing an article about how our little slasher movie is the number one film in the entire country. Yes, it’s true. Terrifier 3 beat all the odds by defeating not only the criminally overly-panned Joker: Folie à Deux but also the modern animated cinematic marvel The Wild

Late Night with Conan O’Brien and NBC/Universal I have reported on countless cinematic suggestions from master of the macabre Stephen King throughout my tenure at Dread Central.

Terrifier 3 is a stomach-churning, disgustingly brutal, Yule-Time gore fest! Fans are going to love it! Damien Leone’s Terrifier series is well known for its amazing low-budget special effects, its graphically brutal on-screen kills, and its memorable, maniacal killer, Art the Clown – played wonderfully by David Howard Thornton. The upside-down saw scene in part one, and the bedroom scene in

Courtesy of Good Morning America on ABC Stephen King takes in an astounding amount of media.

It doesn’t happen very often that a movie can terrify you to the level that it affects your emotional well-being. It first happened in The Exorcist (1973), Jaws (1975), and then The Blair Witch Project (1999). It wasn’t until 2014 that Adam Robitel’s The Taking of Deborah Logan was able to recapture that collective terror

I just finished Hayride to Hell and I can’t believe how much I liked it. I was expecting to be let down and I wasn’t.
